BRING ID: All you need is your driver's licence with your current address on it, or another piece of government-issued ID with your photo and address. If not, you’ll need two pieces of ID, such as a health card or drivers licence and a document such as a hydro bill or phone bill with your address on it. If you’re homeless, you can vote with a letter of confirmation from a soup kitchen or shelter along with a piece of ID.
NO PICTURES: No pictures/selfies allowed. Period.
CHILDREN: Yes, you can bring kids AND they can come with you behind the screen if necessary.
